[C320-list] AC leaking

[John Frost]

Peggy,

It would seem that the only sources of water from an A/C are the condensate and the raw water so don't rule anything out yet. 

Have you checked for an overflowing condensate pan? 

Water wont leak out of the "suck" side of the raw water system so check from pump outlet to the overboard discharge. 

If you are in salt water you might want to taste the bilge water and see if it is salty (raw water leak) or fresh (condensate). (Then again, you may not want to go that far)


Happy Sailing!

Where  do you have your condensation routed to? Is your intake dedicated to the a/c only. Have you checked the discharge hose going over board.
